Candor farm goat milk recalled

Goat milk produced by Side Hill Acres farm in Candor is being voluntarily recalled due to improper pasteurization, according to New York State Agriculture Commissioner Richard A. Ball.

A routine inspection by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets Milk Control and Dairy Services revealed that some of the product was improperly pasteurized, according to a news release.

The recalled goat milk was sold at GreenStar Co-op Market in Ithaca and the Side Hill Acres store in Candor under the name Side Hill Acres Goat Milk. The milk was packaged in gallon, half-gallon, quart and pint-sized plastic containers bearing the container code number 10516.

Side Hill Acres farm is at 79 Spencer Road in Candor.

Proper pasteurization heats milk in order to eliminate pathogenic bacteria, the release stated. No illnesses have been reported in connection with recalled milk.
